Full description

This private retreat attracts travellers who are sensitive to the pure and unspoilt beauty of the countryside and the magic of such a captivating place.

Casa Vostra and its separate cottage are two of the 7 luxury historical villas (including Torre del Falco) that comprise the Leali Estate. The captivating Casa Vostra and its enchanting counterpart are at the very heart of the surrounding and endless 8 hectares of botanical gardens. Here one can witness some of the most beautiful scenery and explore the undulating lawns filled with fragrant roses and the forest of ancient umbrella pines. It is not then surprising that the grounds themselves are indeed responsible for recreating the magic of film. Even having starred opposite Keira Knightley in the film "Silk", the enchanting qualities of this world were not overshadowed.

Casa Vostra, hosts up to 10 guests and is remarkable in its rustic beauty; its rural origins and the aesthetic aspirations of its former custodians having been carefully preserved. The restored bedrooms feature an eclectic blend of antiques, artefacts and objets d'art that evoke the owner's bohemian flare and natural sincerity of style. Although remarkable in all its splendour and austerity, this villa radiates warmth and produces a wholesome, inviting atmosphere; ensuring that guests feel they belong and that the house really is "Casa Vostra".

Just next-door is the cottage, "Casa Vostra dependence", which sleeps up to 7 guests. Equally delightful, this charming property has, together with Casa Vostra, exclusive use of the 1920s Olympic swimming pool. The dependance also has its own billiard room. Other amenities of the estate include a jogging track, solarium and spa.

It is unquestionable that the gracious owner takes great care of guests of the Leali Estate; happy to share with them the beauty of the surrounding nature and landscape and a unique lifestyle that is altogether inspirational and good for one's soul.
